Mount Pleasant Drainage.
AN EXTENSION OF THE EIGHTH-sTRgET SEWER PRO-
JECTED.
The District Commissioners have projected a
continuation OF the Sth-street sewer up the val
ley on the line OF New Jersey avenue extended
The only obstacle to this plan is that the Commits
SlonerS must secure the right OF way from the
property owners along the line Of the proposed
extension.
The commissioners have, therefore, to-day writ
ten Mr.. Reginald Fendall, who has been appointed
Dy the supreme Court OF the District to sell part
OF lOt NO III, In Wright and Dale's subdivision,
which is in the line OF extension, asking that he
consider the question in order to make report to
the court with reference to those properties which
he represents.
In their letter the Commissioners say that "the
construction OF the sewer will not only effect an
dl,lon OF the area lying northward from boundary
between 7th street and Mount Pleasant, but at
once render OF value the lots which occupy the
Old creek bed and at present unavailable for build
ing or other useful purpose"
